I am so thankful that life brought me to you Eckhart.

“There’s a defect in the mirror!” 😆 Oh Eckhart, how we all love you!

[joemusicman]

Try to find this on TV. This guy saved me. Saved me from what? My ego. I don't engage in arguments anymore, don't watch the news. I simply don't find it useful anymore. I found this video VERY useful. Die ego, die!!! lol. Eckhart if you're reading this I have read The Power of now and New Earth maybe a dozen times. I'm reading New Earth right now. Why do I keep re-reading them? Because my ego keeps wanting to take over and these books raise my awareness to stop it. This all leads to less misery in my life. Thank you!

Yes! I was born with a physical disability and i always felt life gave me no choice but to let go of material identity 😅 I am 26 now and after so many searching i feel very realised spiritually ❤️‍🔥

[RenateGunther-krgd]

I'll be listening to this talk every day, to remind myself just how painful the prison of form identification can be, and how liberating it feels to discover the deeper self. Thanks again, Eckhart, for this beautiful teaching 😊❤

Experiencing the unexpected recent passing of my 18yr old sister was a catalyst for the death of my ego. It “knocked me so hard” that it felt like “the ego was knocked out of me.” Death became real. Her leaving this earth in body form has taught me that we are not form just like Eckhart says. I am human so I have human tendencies and feel pain. But I am working on not identifying with “pain body” because I know her true essence is still alive. Thank you Eckhart for your teachings 🤍

Find death, before death finds you.
Meister Eckhart you are amazingly simple, and simply AMAZING. ❤

[blindianajones]

I have a disability, my sight has been reducing over time. About two years ago, I was hit by what you could call the start of an awakening, which now I translate to letting my identity die while I move toward the essence identity. Appreciate the mention of disabilities here because I dont ever hear that spoken about in this context.

Find death before death finds you.
Find that in you that is beyond death.
Find essence identity.
Ego identity dies.
Form is still there, but identification isn't there.

Thanks Eckhart. 1 November 2023.🐘🌱🦆💖🎁🙉💝

This is such a profound video. As I'm approaching the beginnings of senior hood, and dealing with the daily onset of outside noise that invades our well-being every day, Prescence is the key to survival which sadly the rest of society has not found. Maintaining Presecence allows us to prepare for what is to come-the inevitable. "Find Death before Death finds you."

[JamesSheffer]

So FUNNY! The YouTube Ads that interfered with Eckart's explanation of Essence vs Form identity were an excellent demonstration of exactly what he has shared. I'm grateful to hear his explanation of how I may live.

[shevawnprather]

Feel good and love yourself from the inside out, not compared to others. In truth, other opinions are just that, their egoic expressions, but they are not you. This is your life and your journey on this planet. Take care of you, enjoy all of life’s gifts and live life to the fullest. Thank you and many blessings Eckhart. 🙏

[wiewiorka_ojoj]

Without doing the meditation we can only believe in what Eckhart says. Only meditation can help us to know it and feel it ❤

[sunnyseacat]

Go within. Release attachment to the ego and continue going within as much as possible.

[Div_us]

Sometimes people lose everything external by believing they don't deserve anything. Then they find peace in having nothing but their soul.

[joanneleib]

I need to listen to you every few months so I don’t fall back to old personality traits!

[terencehennegan]

Grieving for oneself can release us from ego identity.

[gertraudbalzer]

About 6 years ago I got challenged through very difficult situations - all this brought me near (body) death - in the end it brought me to "ego dead" and to your thankful for this grace (from Vienna)
